↵* Except where indicated otherwise.
↵† Physicians were considered comprehensive if they worked 50 or more days per year, if 50% or more of their services reflected core primary care, if 50% or fewer of their billings were in a single activity area and if they did not have a “focus practice” designation (e.g., psychotherapy, hospitalist, sports medicine). “All comprehensive primary care physicians” includes those who did not practise in a medical home; therefore, the numbers in this column are greater than the sum of the 3 medical home categories.
